Comments: I agree w/ Aeon. The route has cleaned up quite a bit and is actually very fun. This route legitimately goes straight up the "face" of the arete until the very top. A little dusty from not having much traffic but totally worth the effort.

Comments: Agree that the top has some junky rock. It seemed contrived NOT to head right into the obvious flake system, there's great holds that take you directly into it. Surprisingly the rock through the mini-overlap before the final dihedral is quite solid.

Comments: You may want to consider either sticking the 1st bolt or anchoring your belayer as a leader fall would take both parties for at least a 30 footer off the side of the cliff into the talus at the base.

Comments: Maybe the L hand start is better. But I thought that climbing up the line to the right side of the bolts was more than a little sketchy. Not so much that there's loose rock, more like there's huge sections where everything is simply decomposing.

So long story short, it's not really cleaned up. There's even loose flakes/holds from the last ledge to the chains. Just a heads up.
